Ireena, this "Mad Mary" and her daughter... then we can rest and prepare for our journey to the castle.  If luck be with us, the caravan should also arrive before we leave and we can restock ourselves and the villagers as well.  My thanks, Miss Janis."**********OOC:  Jarrith can only purify about 3 cubic feet of water (24 gallons).  So rather than trying to purify the entire well itself (which I'm sure is more than 24 gallons), he'll recommend that they draw water up in buckets and casks then purify as much as he can.</blockquote>
